Chance : Media , Discussion,

[funkyasian]

ummm...okay, i'm going to ask this in hopes that nobody laughs at my attempt...



my gf (whom i met on this board ) and i are going to be celebrating our one year anniversary some time right after moonlight. she just happens to be a HUGE amber fan...so where i am going with this...well, i was wonder whether some incredibly nice and wonderful kitten would be able to get an autograph for me so i can give it to her for our anniversary. i had wanted to go myself, but...well, money's tight right now since i'm in the process of buying a house for me and my honey to share.



so...would anyone be able to do this favor for me? if you possibly would even remotely consider it, please email me...asian_chic@hotmail.com - please, please please help me be romantic just this once?! thanks...

SlayerWeb.de has an article on their site promoting Chance:



www.slayerhelp.com/news/viewalone.php?newsid=567



The article is written in German - here is a translation of one excerpt:



"Chance is an independent film, it shows the talent of Amber not only as an actress but also as a director, a writer and a producer. At the time of the film's production, she was only 24 years old."



The article also gives a basic outline of the film's storyline, the full cast list, how the film was financed (partly by fan donations and online auctions) and the various venues at which the film has been screened so far.



It mentions the forthcoming screening at California State University, Sacramento on Tuesday, March 25 too.



There are also a couple of downloadable clips available but I'm not sure if they are the same ones that we've already seen.



Slayerweb.de's site gets a lot of hits and I've already seen links to this article posted at several Buffy-related boards. It seems to be generating a lot of interest among fans who are enquiring as to where and when they can get to see this film.





Edited to add: SlayerWeb.de also has an interview with Amber regarding Chance:

kajo - the downloadable clips are the same two that have been on the net for some months now, so nothing new. One is the unofficial trailer and the other one is the clip with Wilton and his bugs.

ETA: Just thought I'd mention it so people won't have to download the same clip twice.



You're welcome kajo.

Announcements for kittens going to the Sacramento Screening:





For any kittens going to the screening, here is a link to the campus map.

http://www.csus.edu/scripts/asp/map/map.asp



The Union is the building NEXT to the "H" shaped library. The screening is the redwood room. That's on the first floor.



Also, unofficially, The seating is on a first come first serve basis. You should COME EARLY. The room only holds a little over 300. It's an intimate setting and should be really nice for the Q & A.

Oh hee, I just watched those clips, that is the first time I saw chance up close. "Maybe the bugs just got sad" Now wouldn't that make a nice sig?

[Domaris]

Okay so the screening is tommorow.. I'm still in Montreal.. Seems like I'm going to miss it and IT'S NOT FAIR!



I just hope you guys'll make nice report of this event ("you guys" being the lucky ones who lives near and have the chance to go to the representation.. )



Have fun

That is the best typo



But seriously, hope everything is okay in the Benson Family.

[urnofosiris]

Oh dear lord, that is an amusing typo alright. Hee. No offense intended to the person who wrote it, the brain can be a funny instrument and I am quite sure I have made worse and less amusing typos.



I too hope whoever that family member is, that he/she will be ok.

[emma peel]

That is a funny typo.

I think it's incredibly considerate of Amber as well as the organizers to let folks know in advance that Amber will be unable to attend. I think most people will be quite understanding.

Amber is such a class act.

I, too, hope that all is well in the Amber family.

[Laika 27]

Awww - I've just checked in to wish everyone well with the screening and everything...wish I could be there.



I really hope everyone in the Benson household is okay.

[voxanglsm]

Well, I know I for sure would be incontinent if I'd been able to go and had been planning to see Amber there, but you know.



Anyway, I hope everyone who is going will still enjoy it and, you know, not be incontinent.



And I hope everything's all right for Amber, too. Hey, maybe someone in her family has incontinence and that was the problem?



Always,

Kristin

now that's it.. I missed the movie ..

[SuperMandy13]

Wow, the movie was awesome! It was so hilarious and I was totally laughing my ass off through the whole thing! Amber did an amazing job and I give her much kudos. And dude... I must say that getting to watch a couple hours of pure Amber-y goodness is heavenly.



Oh, I got to meet a couple of other Kittens there! Lurker-y Kittens unite! Big shout out to uhh... nothingman? Was that your screenname? I forgot already... d'oh! There were a couple of other girls, but I dunno if they have screennames... I forgot to ask. Double d'oh! Well, a big wave to all of them, anyway.



I was sad to hear that Amber's mom is in the hospital... my thoughts are definitely with her and the rest of her family. I wish her the best and hope she gets better soon.





-Mandy

[xita]

Mandy thanks for the report. I have faith one day I'll watch this movie. Till then I love the reports and I think right now , nothing would suit me better than yes a whole movie with Amber.. sigh. Sounds like you had a good time, yay!

My girlfriend and I had a great time at the screening tonight. We are both very shy, so we didn't venture out and meet any other kittens, but it was still a great time. The movie was hilarious. Amber is so talented and so cute.



It's too bad to hear that her mom is sick. I hope she gets better well and that it isn't too serious. I don't mind waiting to meet Amber either. I will meet her someday I'm sure.



It was nice of Nate Barlow (Milton the neighbor in the movie and co-producer) to come and hold the Q&A after the movie. Most of the questions were things that people had obiviously prepared to ask Amber, so he couldn't really answer them all, but it was still nice of him to try. He said that Amber called him and asked him to cover for her and that she felt bad that she couldn't make it.



The women in film topic wasn't really covered at all. It lost its focus with a man holding the talk. He did a good job at answering the questions, but it is something that is hard to prepare for at the last minute. Anyway, it was very nice of him to fill in and I wish him the best of success in the future.



We had a great time. I hope Amber gets a distribution deal so that more people can see this movie. I can't wait to see new projects from her.

[rezeaka]

Thanks to all for the reports of the screening! Can not WAIT to see this movie...! Too bad they can't do a screening of it at Moonlight Rising, eh?!



That is too bad that Amber's mom is in the hospital.



I hope she is on the mend and feeling better by the minute. I will keep the Benson family in my thoughts and prayers and be sending "get well, be strong and positive vibes" to them all.
